Shouldn't we then work towards that. Instead of applying more regulations.

Well, one good argument would be that there's a party which'll tear down any reasonable set of regulations every eight years. You could argue that the solution is to convince people that electing this party is a terrible idea, but... that doesn't look to be happening any time soon.

Fix the market first, then deregulate.
